As soon as the words fell, the black-clothed arrow team immediately formed a group of threes and threes, drew out their long knives, back to back, and formed a formation of three talents.
.......
In Ningyang City, Su Ying has been wandering around since leaving the county office.
The stars in the dark night are like night pearls inlaid on the cotton robe, which is intoxicating and fascinating.
Su Ying walked slowly, not in a hurry, while carefully appreciating his own cultivation, while looking at the local customs of Ningyang City.
There is no curfew in Ningyang.
Since Su Ying came here, the law and order here has been good, coupled with the fact that there are many policemen and the business is flourishing, so even if the darkness falls at this time, there are still hawkers, restaurants, and teahouses on both sides of the street.
Not long after, Su Ying came all the way to the Baihua Building by the Wujiang River, and was led up to the top floor by a special person.
After a while, he came to Miss Xian'er's room again.
"My lord, wait a moment, my young lady is taking a bath, she will be here in a moment."
"It's okay."
Su Ying nodded, and after the little maid left, she sat down at the round table and waited quietly.
The decoration of Lin Xianer's boudoir is extremely simple and elegant.
There are only a few exquisite pieces of furniture, calligraphy and paintings of famous people and a blue long sword hanging on the wall.
There is a copper stove with animal heads in the corner, and the smoke from the cooking makes people feel refreshed.
"Forgive me, my lord. As soon as I heard you came, I came out after half washing."
The sound of bead curtains colliding was heard, and along with a clear and pleasant voice, Lin Xian'er's incomparably graceful figure came out from behind.
She was wearing plain clothes and light gauze, her hair was half dry, and her skin was as white as cream. Although she didn't wear makeup, she had boundless charm.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, my lord is getting more and more handsome."
The oiran lady looked at Su Ying's figure with a smile. There was always an unspeakable aura about him.
It makes people addicted and unable to extricate themselves.
Su Ying smiled slightly and raised her chin: "I've been a little busy recently, but I've left you out in the cold."
The answer was far-fetched, but it made the little oiran lady feel infinitely happy.
"Then my lord should take good care of my slave's house tonight..."
"Well. I'll try to..."
Su Ying nodded.
Immediately, laughter filled the room.
After one hour and three quarters, Su Ying was leaning on the bed, Lin Xian'er's slender fingers in her arms were drawing circles on his chest.
The fragrance of jasmine came from the black hair, which made people feel refreshed.
"Miss Xian'er is beautiful and talented, is there no one to redeem you?"
Suddenly, Su Ying said something.
"Are you poking my slave's heart?"
Lin Xian'er heard the words, her pretty face was slightly sad: "The price of my family is five hundred gold, who is willing to spend such a huge amount for a prostitute? Will you, sir?"
"I won't."
Su Ying shook her head decisively and directly refused.
"Oh~"
The oiran was dark, and sighed slightly.
She should have known the result earlier.
"I have a clean sleeve, and I'm really shy in my pocket. It won't be too late when I have money in the future."
"Seriously, my lord?"
The little oiran lady was pleasantly surprised when she heard this.
It seems that Mr. Su still has great pity and admiration for me in his heart.
But Mr. Su is really a good official who is not corrupt at all.
"That is certainly true."
Su Ying nodded with a straight face.
Just kidding, I have a salary of 300 taels a year, plus 1000 taels of money to support honesty.
If you don't eat or drink for four or five years, it will be enough to redeem you...
Besides, even if I have only worked for a month and have a little bit of money.
But if you really redeem it for you, what will others think?
What will my colleagues think?
"It's been a long night, let me tell you a little story."
Su Ying smiled slightly, feeling the fullness and warmth from his palm, and couldn't help but speak.
"Okay. My family likes listening to stories the most."
"Well, that's good. I thought you didn't like it, it's like this..."
After a pause, Su Ying said leisurely: "There is a boy named A Bin, his high school grades are not ideal..."
Bang bang bang!
Just as Su Ying finished speaking, there was a knock on the door directly from outside.
"Miss, County Lieutenant Li has something important to look for Mr. Su."
"Li Shan?"
On the bed, Su Ying frowned slightly.
This old boy really doesn't understand how he came to find me in the middle of the night.
But Li Shan is a prudent person, knowing that he came to find him in Baihualou must have something important.
"Miss Xian'er, I still have something to do, I will tell you a story next time..."
After finishing speaking, he got up and got out of bed, dressed neatly and pushed open the door, only to see Li Shan circling outside the door anxiously.
"Li Xianwei, what happened?"
"My lord, just now the second ghost came back with an anxious expression on his face, saying that he found an important clue in the Luoxia Mountain. Please go back and report to your lord."
"Second brother is back?"
The second ghost that Li Shan mentioned was the second among the four ghosts in western Hunan. He was full of vigilance towards these ghostly bodyguards Li Shan.
"Okay, go back immediately."
"Hey, isn't this the room of Miss Huakui?"
Li Shan looked at it, his face was full of curiosity, and suddenly his heart moved, he laughed and said, "My lord, how about the oiran?"
Hearing this, Su Ying glanced at him, narrowed her eyes, and raised the corner of her mouth.
"... very moist."
.......
After leaving Baihualou, Su Ying and Li Shan returned to the county office without stopping.
Entering the lobby, he saw Gui Er standing there, as if he heard footsteps, he turned around and walked towards Su Ying quickly.
"My lord, I found out that it's not a salt mine..."
"Not a salt mine?"
Hearing this, Su Ying frowned and said, "What is that?"
"Lord, please see."
While speaking, Gui Er took out from his bosom something wrapped in a sleeve he had just torn off...
He unfolded it carefully, and when Su Ying saw the contents clearly, his eyes were shocked!
Chapter 44
Su Ying originally thought that the map brought by Shi Dian was the location of the salt mine.
I didn't expect it to be saltpeter!
Although saltpeter is also an ore, it is an extremely dangerous thing.
Because this thing can make gunpowder.
Nitre ore is a sedimentary deposit with nitrate minerals as the main component.
The most common minerals are sodium saltpeter and potassium saltpeter, and the paragenetic minerals include halite, gypsum, and anhydrous Glauber's salt.
In the previous life, this thing could not only produce nitric acid and explosives, but also produce pyrotechnics and metallurgy and glass industries, which exploded at high temperatures.
Su Ying never expected that this was not a salt mine, but a saltpeter mine.
Gunpowder has always been a secret technique of the imperial court, but the imperial court strictly controls the formula and materials related to gunpowder.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is mainly saltpeter.
Because this thing is a necessity and raw material for making gunpowder.
Saltpeter mines were discovered in Luoxia Mountain, and there are traces of mining.
Thinking of this, there was no smile on Su Ying's face.
If it is a salt mine, even if it has been mined, it can only prove that someone is selling illegal salt.
But saltpeter mines are different.
This means that someone is dealing with gunpowder.
